Introduction to the Stream Ecosystem

Built on Flink and Spark, the stream ecosystem is fully compatible with the open-source Flink, Storm, and Spark APIs. It is enhanced in features and improved in performance to provide easy-to-use Cloud Stream Service (CS) with low latency and high throughput.

The CS ecosystem consists of cloud service ecosystems and open-source ecosystems.

  • Cloud service ecosystems

    By using Stream SQL, CS can be interconnected with other services, such as Data Ingestion Service (DIS), Object Storage Service (OBS), CloudTable Service (CloudTable), MapReduce Service (MRS), Relational Database Service (RDS), Simple Message Notification (SMN), and Distributed Cache Service (DCS). You can directly use SQL to read data from or write data into these services.

  • Open-source ecosystem

    After connections to other VPCs are established through VPC peering connections, you can access all data sources and output targets (such as Kafka, HBase, and Elasticsearch) supported by Flink and Spark in your exclusive CS cluster.
